What fits in Bizkaia Arena
With a 3.1 m ceiling, a flown wall of Absen PL2.5 Plus V2 (2.5 mm) runs 257 tiles wide by 2 high (514 tiles, 128.5 x 1 m, 51400 x 400 px) once you keep 1.5 m of trim under the bottom edge. That wall weighs about 4,009 kg and draws up to 82.2 kW (395 A at 208 V). Floor space after a 12 x 7 m stage seats roughly 57,558 theater, 23,546 banquet, or 16,188 classroom. The previz lets you move the wall, change the tile, and check sightlines from the back row.
| Panel | Pitch | Wall (cols x rows) | Size | Resolution | Weight | Power (max) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Absen KLCOB 0.78 | 0.78 mm | 214 x 3 = 642 | 128.4 x 1 m | 164352 x 1296 | 2,889 kg / 6,369 lb | 56.8 kW, 273 A @ 208 V |
| Absen PL2.5 Plus V2 | 2.5 mm | 257 x 2 = 514 | 128.5 x 1 m | 51400 x 400 | 4,009 kg / 8,839 lb | 82.2 kW, 395 A @ 208 V |
| Absen PL3.9 Plus V2 | 3.9 mm | 257 x 2 = 514 | 128.5 x 1 m | 32896 x 256 | 4,009 kg / 8,839 lb | 72 kW, 346 A @ 208 V |
Wall sizing assumes 1.5 m trim to the bottom edge, 0.3 m clearance under the ceiling, and a wall no wider than 80% of the longest wall. Weight and power are tile totals from the panel spec sheet; add processing, rigging, and cable.
Planning notes
No rigging point data is published for this venue yet; plan on ground-supported LED or ask the venue for its rigging plot. 13 of the 16 rooms sit under 3.5 m, which rules out flown LED there and limits ground-stacked walls to about 6 rows of 500 mm tile.
Data source
Published dimensions. Dimensions from the venue's published meeting-space specifications (source). Rooms drawn as boxes use published length x width; square rooms were derived from published area only, so treat their shape as approximate. Venue managers: send a floor plan to upgrade your listing to production-ready.
